Discipline and Punish

“Crime, the object with which the penal practice is concerned, has profoundly altered; the quality, the nature, in a sense the substance of which the punishable element is made, rather than its formal definition (Foucault 17).” Originally, the punitive system evaluated crimes based upon juridical code violation. An investigation was conducted to prove the offender’s physical responsibility in the act. But late eighteenth century theoreticians altered the objective of the punitive system.…

always the case. Girls often subverted authority and the expectation of prescribed play by “pushing the margins of acceptable feminine and genteel behaviour” (Forman-Brunell, 235). They acted aggressively towards their dolls offer afflicting punish and discipline upon them, or reenacting funerals not for the purpose of practicing social rituals but instead “were often more interested in the unfeminine events that led to these solemn…

the supporters like the idea of letting the states control the punishment of an offender that commits a crime in their territory. They believe that each state is like a parent and the kids in the state are their kids. Each parent has the right to discipline their kids the way they see fit within reason. Secondly, some supporters believe that civil rights are privileges and when you chose to commit a crime, you should lose some of those privileges. They would rather reward the citizens that make…

In the past centuries, marriage has been considered the union of two people out of love. That two people have to love one another to be married to one another. Marriage is a legally accepted relationship between two people as husband and wife for a lifetime. Marriage is a promise to support one another no matter what comes their way. Marriage is a commitment. Marriage is a mutual partnership. Marriage is not always out of love. Laura Brown from The Hours lives the perfect life, with a kind…

the manifold shackles in economic, legal and social relations. The group is distinct from slaves, not forgetting that the serf lords had only incomplete individual’s possession. The serfs could not execute the lords, but they had the right to discipline/punish with the sale, transfer of land, and mortgage. However, serfs were obligated to work for the lords without any compensation, where the output of their labor referred to as the property rights of the…

to come under the gaze of the criminal justice system? How can this be remedied? (Make sure to use theoretical perspectives and course resources from week 10 in your answer). A key postmodernist theorist was Michael Foucault, proposes in ‘Discipline and Punish’, that Bentham’s Panopticon represents the structure of society itself, in that citizens exercise constant control depending on circumstances and ideas. (White, Haines and Asquith, 2012). Foucault argues that power and control is filtered…

images, I was endeered by this poem and have found it to continuously provide new topics and details for analysis. Arthur Rimbaud was born in Charleville, France, on October 20, 1854. He was raised by an authoritarian mother who would often punish and discipline…

Law Enforcement enforce our laws (obviously) and our Military enforce our borders. Police keep order in our communities. They discipline those who break the law and protect those who obey it. Without Law there really wouldn’t be Freedom. It would just be chaos. On the other hand, we wouldn’t have a chance at freedom if we didn’t have our military keeping protecting us from other…

A parent can approach their child in many different ways during many different situations. How a parent reacts to a child can affect the child’s attitude and emotions in the moment but also in the long run. Psychologists have discovered different parenting styles in which how a parent interacts with their child or children. There are four different types of parenting styles which are authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful. An authoritative parent is best known as a parent who…

consequences hoping that their child will just “get it” and eventually stop and realize that they are in a public place. It almost seems as though parents probably don’t know the correct way to respond in a public place since you can’t physically punish a child in public so they decide to just let the child cry it out hoping that they will tire themselves out. I heard a story one time about a guy named Brian. Brian went to IHOP one morning around 10:15am. It was on New Year’s Day so he went out…
